Best Gifts for People Who Always Break Their Phones

I have many friends who have a magical knack for dropping their phones, cracking their screens, and just finding new ways to make sure that the $1000 they plunked down on an iPhone quickly becomes for naught. It's amazing how quickly they do it, too.

You can always figure out who's the klutz in your group by their phone's cracked screen, rough edges, seeing them beg budget wireless carriers for a new phone, or hearing them go, "Ugh! I just got this phone!"

If you want to be a good friend and help them klutz-proof their gear, why not check out the best gifts for people who always break their phones? You might be able to help make sure that they don't go bankrupt that way — and also save money on finding a good present.

Yes, we know that there are many phone screen protectors out there, but few (if any) are as impact-resistant as RhinoShield's. These screen protectors are capable of taking hits from hammers, cushioning your phone from scrapes, and also gives you the "regular phone screen" feel, too.

This is the guardian angel that a clumsy person's phone needs, especially if they have a tendency of dropping it in bad, bad places. All things considered, this is one of the best gifts for people who always break their phones.

Speck makes some seriously pretty iPhone and Android phone cases, and what really makes them so cool is that they are some of the best gifts for people who always break their phones. They're as rugged as can be, and allow your phone to "bounce" rather than shatter into a million pieces.

With this cute black glitter phone case, you can rest assured that you can keep looking stylish — even if you are a constant phone-dropper.

If you're looking for a more eye-catching phone case that still ranks highly among the best gifts for people who always break their phones, why not get a super-soft rubber phone case instead?

Youli rolled out with a number of absolutely adorable phone cases that demand attention while also cushioning your phone against any blows it may take. Smart tech accessories never looked so cute.

If your friend is a lost cause when it comes to breaking their phone, why not get them a one that's specifically designed to be a rugged smartphone? Samsung's Galaxy S7 Active was designed to withstand a lot of wear and tear — and is even made to be shatter-resistant.

Like any other S7, you get all the apps you want and a nice, handy 12 megapixel camera. So, it's the best of both worlds, and makes for one of the best gifts for people who always break their phones by accident.

Did we mention that the S7 Active also comes with a shatterproof screen? Yeah, it's that cool.

Have a friend who manages to go through phones like toilet paper? Do they always lose them, shatter them, or otherwise just wreck them in ways you didn't know were humanly possible? Well, it might be that they just aren't people who can handle a smartphone.

Rather than continue to replace smartphones like the goldfish you got from a carnival a week ago, why not just go back to a rugged flip phone? It's sturdy enough to survive the apocalypse, and will probably be able to survive longer. Oh, and it's also much cheaper.

The most common reason why people drop their phones is because they don't have it holstered to them. Therefore, one of the easiest ways to make sure your friend doesn't break their phone is to put it in a sling they wear around their neck.

Mibim's uniquely designed sling keeps your phone secured on you like a necklace, and also prevents you from dropping it — as long as you wear the lanyard, anyway. And, it doesn't actually look that bad, either.

Less chance of dropping your phone makes this one of the best gifts for people who always break their phones. Crisis averted. Also, it can help turn your phone into a health and fitness wearable. Win-win.

Another smart invention that prevents drops and breaks is Love Handle's phone grippers. These cute little strips adhere to your phone case, and allow you to hold your phone with a single finger.

Using them means that you won't drop your phone in the toilet, and that you get a little more flexibility when it comes to more dangerous selfie angles. Considering how common shattered phone screens are due to breaks, it's easy to see why this is one of the best gifts for people who always break their phones.
